You HAVE TO TAKE ON an American pilot and have him in charge to sail a cargo vessel into an American port...and he boards well outside the harbor.

It's a lot less easy to simply sail a cargo vessel wherever you want than people like to portray it.

That may be true, but it means nothing after the ship's pilot is killed. As we all know, the 9-11 airliners all had American pilots on board as well.

This is a ruthless and clever enemy. I prefer not to underestimate them.
